I used the pattern by Lyndsay Richardson - A Toque fit for a Canuck, eh! - to make a band of maple leaves across the bottom of the sweater. I found maple leaf buttons on ebay. I added belt loops for the included belt. The pattern is super easy to follow and the sweater came out awesome - the yarn washes and dries so easily and is so soft. I now have to adapt the pattern to make a plain sweater for hubby!
